“Honeymoon” Frame

Whether the trip was to an exotic locale or just down the road, a honeymoon is an adventure together and framed photo will serve as a delightful reminder for years to come. Mariposa would like to thank the co-winners Danielle Ritorto and Abby Gray for suggesting the “honeymoon” frame as part of our 2013 Statement Contest on Facebook.

Animals Frame 5 x 7

This collection is inspired by the joy and wonderment of children. They are objects that may capture their unique excitement at the world around them and our precious memories of them as they experience the world.

“There is no greater joy for me than to spend every small moment I can with my young children. Each game of tag, each precious scribble or crooked letter, sweet hugs and high fives cumulatively are my greatest gifts. In creating gifts for children, I hope to create objects which are enjoyed now and will become keepsakes in years to come.”

Black Orchid Convertible Easel Frame

The Michael Aram Black Orchid Collection was inspired by the powerful sensuality of orchids and the rich ambiance of haute couture – strikingly simple yet full of the most extreme detail. The collection has an almost gothic feeling – opiated, lush, and smoldering – like the dark, velvety atmosphere of a luxurious evening.

“There is something so seductive about orchids. In blackened nickel, they are even more sublime, like a woman wearing a black velvet gown floating through a great estate or a glassy urban high-rise. The dark atmosphere of the orchids against the hammered metal is like the afterglow of a beautiful evening.”

Butterfly Gingko Easel Frame

The Butterfly Ginkgo Collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael’s fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the ginkgo Biloba, or “Butterfly ginkgo”, which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly’s wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid bronze with acid etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of Indian craft and capture the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael’s work.

“The first time I saw this tree, it literally looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies…as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye.”
